Abstract :
A novel design method for a TEM horn antenna is proposed on the basis of parallel plate waveguide theory. This TEM horn antenna has an exponentially tapered structure to increase the matching bandwidth. The measurement shows that the TEM horn antenna has the frequency band of 75 MHz to 1200 MHz for VSWR less than 2.0.
